💛✨ Giving Tuesday✨💛

Today on Giving Tuesday, we’re opening our hearts and asking our community to stand with us in a way that truly makes a difference.

At New Life Trails, every single day we witness something holy,
a frightened rescue animal learning to trust again…
a child who hasn’t smiled in weeks giggling as she brushes a horse…
a weary parent taking a deep breath for the first time in a long time…
a teenager finding purpose in caring for God’s creatures…
a broken-hearted adult realizing they are not alone.

The Trails is more than a place.
It is ministry, healing, family, restoration, and hope.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit and as we step into a new year, our ministry budget is $105,000, a number that represents real lives served and real needs met:

🐴 Veterinary care for rescue horses who come to us scared, injured, and forgotten
🐑 Shelter, feed, and safety for every animal God brings through our gates
🤎 Therapeutic lessons that restore confidence, calm anxiety, and help children and adults feel seen and loved
🌾 Outreach and service that brings God’s love into nursing homes, schools, and families
💛 A sanctuary where trauma softens, faith grows, and hearts find rest

This year alone, because of supporters like you, New Life Trails has been able to:

• Rescued and raised 2 bottle calves, 2 bottle pigs, and 1 bottle baby goat
• Participated in countless community events: Goblins on Grand, KLvv Fall Festival, 3 days at the Rodeo, St. Mary’s Fall Fest & more
• Brought baby bunny therapy to nursing homes dozens of times
• Hostd 4 daycares and 2 school groups for agricultural and animal education
• Completed 50+ tutoring sessions with EPIC students
• Rescued many animals who now call the Trails home
• Added 6 new horse lesson students and 2 horse therapy students
• Served at 3 hospice camps
• Participated in Vacation Bible Schools
• Provided over 1,000 hours of community service opportunities
•Partnered with Grand lake mental health clients

Every dollar given helps us continue saying “yes”

yes to the wounded animals,
yes to the struggling child,
yes to families walking through hard seasons,
yes to being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.

If it’s within your heart this Giving Tuesday, we humbly ask for your support.

🤍 New Life Trails Schedule Update 🤍

As we step into a time of rest and gratitude, New Life Trails will be closed November 24th–30th so our staff and volunteers can spend time with their families and give thanks for all God has done this season.

We will return to regular business hours on December 1st, ready to welcome a new month with fresh joy, renewed hearts, and expectant faith.

Goodbye November… Hello December and all the beautiful things God has in store!

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. We are so grateful for this precious community. 💞
